If I am not missing something, this is completely broken for
devmem/ZONE_DEVICE that never onlines pages. But also when memory blocks
are never onlined, this would be just wrong. Least thing you would need
is a sub-section online map.
But glimpsing at patch #2, I'd rather stop right away digging deeper
into this series :)
I think what would really help is drafting a design of how it all could
look like and then first discussing the high-level design, investigating
how it could play along with all existing users, existing workloads, and
existing use cases. Proposing such changes without a clear picture in
mind and a high-level overview might give you some unpleasant reactions
from some of the developers around here ;)
